Chapter 746 meets Jones
"Hello Uncle Jones!" said Locke politely.
"Why did Locke have time to play with me today?" said Jack Jones as he sat across from Locke and said with a smile.
"Actually, I came to Uncle Jones here today to discuss!" Locke said directly, he knew very well in his heart, in fact, Jones was very clear about the purpose of his coming today, but he didn't know why he was so polite, since he was polite, he would first say the purpose of coming this time.
"Oh!" Jones was obviously stunned when he heard this, but he didn't continue to ask, but said to the two housekeepers standing on the side of the hall, "Come on, serve two cups of tea!"
"Locke, do you have tea?" Jones turned his head and asked, after all, he made the decision for Locke himself, and it was a bit rude not to ask him what he meant.
"It's okay, you can drink anything!" Locke said with a smile, anyway, drinking coffee and tea is just a kind of throat moisturizer for him, and there is no need to dwell on this issue.
As for the role that Lin Tian played today, he was just one of Locke's followers, naturally, he could only stand behind Locke, and as for drinking tea, these things had nothing to do with him.
Soon the two housekeepers carried two blue and white porcelain cups in front of Locke and Jack Jones.
After the two housekeepers left, Jack Jones made a "please" gesture and said with a smile: "Locke, please have tea!"
Locke nodded slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, it is very kind of the style of a successful person's gestures, which is very different from the previous way of hanging a child, it seems that the transformation of identity will change a person's temperament in an instant.
Putting down the teacup, Locke smashed his mouth and said: "Tea is good tea, but it's a pity that the tea maker can't do tea art, and he wastes such a good tea tea." Then he smiled and said, "Uncle Jones, don't be surprised, I'll tell you the truth, although I'm not from Huaxia, I have always liked Huaxia tea art, so I have a little research in this regard." ”
Laughing slightly, Jack Jones said: "It's okay, I like to deal with straightforward people like Locke, no scheming, and it's easy to get along, on the tea ceremony, we M people are indeed inferior to the Orientals, we are still used to drinking coffee, and it is inevitable that the heat will not be good in the tea ceremony, plus you came in a hurry, and the tea was made in a hurry, and the taste was naturally much worse, the key is that I don't know that Locke likes the tea ceremony very much, otherwise, I must have hired a tea master in advance." ”
"You're welcome, I appreciate Uncle Jones's kindness, and I won't be happy if I cause too much trouble to Uncle Jones because of these little things. After Locke finished speaking, he paused, and continued: "Actually, you should follow the customs when you enter the country, we are still used to drinking coffee in country M, I heard that there is a kind of Brazilian cat coffee that is very famous, I don't know if Uncle Jones has it here?"
"The quantity of cat poop coffee is very rare, but its taste is very unique, and it is not something that can be bought with money. Jack Jones said: "However, my Jack family is also a leader and face in country M, and I can still get some to put at home for entertaining guests every year, since Locke wants to try it, it just so happens that I have some here." After speaking, he turned his head to look at the two housekeepers who had just retreated, and told them to make coffee.
After a while, the coffee was served, the aroma was tangy, compared to ordinary coffee, this cat coffee did taste quite good, even Lin Tian, who was standing on the side, smelled the taste a little greedy, only to see Locke take a sip of the cup gently, nodded incessantly, and praised: "This taste is really very unique, much better than the coffee I drank before." ”
"If Locke likes it, I can get some for you to bring home, it's not very expensive, but it's priceless. Jack Jones said, this alone shows that he still attaches great importance to Locke, of course, this is also related to Locke's identity now, if it is changed to before, I am afraid that he will not even be able to mix a cup of tea.
"No, no, if I want to drink this cat coffee, I can get it too, but I'm usually very busy and rarely have time to drink coffee. After Locke finished speaking, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said politely: "Presumably, Uncle Jones must need this cat coffee more than me, so there is no need to be so troublesome." ”
When Jack Jones heard this, he didn't continue to dwell on this issue, but changed his words, opened his mouth and said: "Locke has been following your father Ronnie Lodge for a while, right? I just heard that Mr. Ronnie Lodge has obtained the leadership of the Golden Devil mercenary of the Ronnie family, according to this situation, presumably Locke and your kid will also be the head of the Ronnie family in the future, it seems that I, who is an uncle, have nothing to do with you!"
"Uncle Jones, don't make fun of me, I often run around the world, how can the head of the Ronnie family be mine! Locke said humbly, and then went straight to the point: "The main purpose of coming to Uncle Jones this time is to talk about the matter of the Golden Devil mercenaries, let's get straight to the point, the matter is done, then I can go back and explain." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Jack Jones replied again and again, he knew that what should come was still coming, this problem was a problem that the two families would have to solve sooner or later, and now that the internal affairs of the Ronnie family were solved, it was natural to talk to himself about the next problems.
"What Locke said is very true, I believe that your father Ronnie Lodge has already told you about the Golden Devil mercenary before, right? Regarding this matter, I hope that our two families can continue to cooperate, of course, compared to the previous cooperation, this time the cooperation between our two families should remain on the same front, only in this way, the Golden Devil mercenary can be stronger!"
Afraid that Locke didn't understand what he meant, Jack Jones explained in detail again: " In the past, the Golden Devil mercenary can be said to be divided into two, our Jack family commands a part, and your Ronnie family commands a part, which is not conducive to the long-term development of the Golden Devil mercenary, and is more like a strategic alliance cooperation, and now the cooperation, we should have more cooperation, for example, your Ronnie family will hand over the leadership of the Golden Devil mercenary to me, in this case, I will lead the Golden Devil mercenary, and after a year, I will divide the income of the Golden Devil mercenary a year equally between the two families, which will be beneficial and harmless to both of us。 ”
After listening to Jack Jones's words, Locke frowned slightly, and after a while, he reacted to the taste of the other party's words, what cooperation is not cooperative, to put it bluntly, it is to let the Ronnie family hand over power, so that his Jack family will block the leadership of the entire Golden Devil mercenary in his hands, it can be said that he is the only one, as for what the Golden Devil mercenaries will earn after a year, the profits earned by the Golden Devil mercenaries will be divided equally, these words cannot be believed at all, and even if the Jack family does not give a cent, the Ronnie family, who has already given up power, will not even be able to get a dime.
Thinking of this, Locke said lightly: "The cooperation of the strategic alliance? This is a bit excessive, Uncle Jones forgive me something that should not be said, my Ronnie family is not a monopoly in D City, it can be said that it is equal to Uncle Jones's Jack family, but if it is according to Uncle Jones's strategic cooperation, it seems to be a little unfavorable to our Ronnie family!"
"Moreover, when I came, my father also explained to me, just to discuss the matter of the Golden Devil mercenary, as for other things, my father did not say, and I am not good at making decisions on my own, but Uncle Jones, don't worry, I will convey your meaning to my father, I believe that my father will give you a satisfactory answer after consideration, and before we do it again, we still discuss whether there is any other better way to solve the matter of the Golden Devil mercenary. ”
Seeing Locke's euphemistic rejection of his meaning, Jack Jones was slightly stunned, but he still didn't continue to dwell on this issue, although he also heard that Locke was using his father to push this question, but at this moment, he had no choice, and he also knew very well in his heart that letting the Ronnie family cede power so easily, how could it be solved in two or three sentences?
Since Locke has shirked it so tactfully, it is not easy for him to continue to entangle, right? Besides, in his opinion, there is still room for negotiation in the future.
As for how to negotiate the law, it depends on the concessions of the two families, after all, it is absolutely impossible to let either of them take the initiative to cede power, and the only thing that can be hoped for is that the two families can work together, instead of running their own Golden Devil mercenaries as before.
Such mercenaries are like thugs raised by two families, each serving their own masters, which is not beneficial to the long-term development of the Golden Devil mercenaries.
"What do you mean by Locke?" asked Jack Jones after a moment of silence, he had already said what he thought, so listen to Locke, after all, Locke represented his father Ronnie Lodge at this time.
